Situation: UTG1 raises, UTG2 ships all-in, rest of table folds back to UTG1. UTG1 is tanking and UTG2 (all-in player) shows his hand to the 2 players to his left who no longer have cards. UTG1 then demands to see the hand.
I have been a TD for 4 years. I tell him (UTG1) that if the 2 players that saw the hand had had live cards, I would have the hand shown. As it is, UTG2 will get a warning for sweating his hand, but that his hand will not be shown until all action is complete, regardless of how action plays out.
Thoughts?
Welcome, Jim
I'm with you on this one. They can argue for the right to see the hand, but not before calling the bet.

You're 100% right. The TDA doesn't have a specific rule on show one / show all.... the conventional rules cover that pretty well. But there's no rule that if you show to a player out of the hand that you have to show to a player who's still in during the hand. Show after the hand concludes.
